These are the girls entrance (left) and the boys entrance (right) of the 1908 former Holmlea Public School on the Southside of Glasgow. Such separate entrance were the norm for Victorian and Edwardian schools. However, in many cases, the boys entrance was the grander one on the front of the school, while the girls entrance was more functional and is tucked around the side. In the Holmea public school, they are the other way round.

@thisismyglasgow is it known why they decided to do this? And is a broken pediment higher up the scale of grandness and what's the pinnacle thing? So many questions.
